Long Chen’s roar split the heavens, reverberating through the nine skies and deep into the yellow springs. It struck fear directly into the hearts of those who heard it, awakening a primal terror within them.

BOOM!

When Long Chen’s palm slammed down, a vast array of stars appeared above, shrouding the entire battlefield in their radiance.

In response, the man who was slapped crownless roared, summoning a giant python manifestation. The python’s scales emitted brilliant divine light, which unfurled the primal chaos energy of the world.

“You’re just a little Earth Saint! So what if you’re a nine star heir?! I’ll shatter the myth of your so-called invincibility!” the bitter man shouted, channeling his bloodline power to ignite his heaven vein dragon qi.

BOOM!

The man blocked Long Chen’s palm with his own, but it directly exploded. Everything under his elbow was gone. In the end, even after igniting his heaven vein dragon qi, he still couldn’t match Long Chen’s overwhelming astral energy.

With all eight stars blazing, Long Chen’s power had surged to a new height. Supported by the heavens and drawing from the stars themselves, his astral energy felt boundless.

After destroying the man’s hand, Long Chen crushed his fighting spirit. Horror replaced his confidence as a cold realization dawned upon him—he had been a fool to believe he could challenge a nine-star heir.

In his terror, he was horrified to find that he couldn’t move. Long Chen’s will pinned him down, rendering him immobile, shackling his soul.

In a clash between experts, the first thing they competed with was the will. If a person’s will was too weak, their soul would cower, and they wouldn’t be able to summon the will to resist. As their bodies froze, all that awaited them was death.

Of all suppressions—bloodline, spiritual, and will—the suppression of the will was the most terrifying. It was like a nimble rat suddenly froze upon seeing a cat.

When one’s will was crushed, fear, anxiety, and despair would consume them, and their body wouldn’t listen to them.

“No!” The man’s scream was filled with rage and regret.

Long Chen’s hands shot forward, piercing his chest like a pair of merciless blades. With a fierce pull, he tore the man apart, showering the battlefield in blood.

As the torn pieces fell, they transformed, morphing into body parts of a colossal python. Its octagonal scales gleamed with divine light, while red flame runes glowed atop its heads. This was a primal chaos species Long Chen had never encountered before.

“Great nine star heir, you have to leave! Quick, or it’ll be too late!” someone shouted.

Countless figures were swarming over from every direction, drawn by the scent of blood like predators drawn to fresh prey. Long Chen sensed their killing intent as their malicious aura fixated on him. Through it, he felt a chilling sense of doom.

“You dreg of the nine star line, there is no escape for you today!” exclaimed an arrogant voice.

Suddenly, the sky was torn apart, revealing a figure. With a casual wave of his hand, he enveloped the battlefield in an extremely strange net, which snared even the laws of heaven and earth, locking them in place.

The figure moved with such speed that Long Chen couldn’t react in time. The net closed around him, tightening like a vice.

Seeing Long Chen trapped, the man laughed in triumph. “Hahaha, this fool is mine!”

“Wretched traitors!” Long Chen’s voice seethed with hatred, and his eyes blazed with fury. This enemy was no foreign devil—he was a human, one of his own.

Long Chen then realized why the human race had taken such immense losses in the primal chaos war. These bloody traitors were the main culprits.

The traitor’s face twisted in satisfaction as he pulled on the net, certain that Long Chen was fully trapped. But then he hesitated, his smile faltering. The net wouldn’t budge.

With a roar, Long Chen gripped the net and tore it apart, shredding the artifact that could bind even the Heavenly Daos.

“What...?!” The man’s eyes went wide with disbelief. His mouth hung open as he struggled to comprehend how anyone could tear apart his divine weapon so effortlessly.

BOOM!

Before he could react, Long Chen’s kick landed with a force that tore through space itself. Astral energy surged outward, obliterating the man and leaving nothing but a gaping black hole in the void. Not even a drop of his blood touched the ground—he was completely

erased

Yet this brutal display didn’t deter Long Chen’s enemies. Countless figures rushed toward him, closing in like an unrelenting tide.

An enormous figure wielding a colossal saber charged at Long Chen, the sound of his weapon slicing through the heavens sending chills down spines.

“The Barbarian race?! You’ve actually also betrayed the human race?!” Long Chen’s fury ignited as he sensed the giant’s barbaric aura.

The giant of the Barbarian race roared defiantly, “Who do you think you are? Why should we let you lead our Barbarian race? Only the fools in the Blood branch still follow you. The rest of us know better!”

BOOM!

The Barbarian giant’s massive saber came crashing down, but Long Chen raised his hand, catching the blade mid-swing. Stars swirled around his palm, and the ground quaked from the sheer force of the clash.

“I am wrong. You didn’t betray the human race,” Long Chen growled, his voice low and cold. “You betrayed the Blood Barbarian race, your king.”

“What a fool. The Blood Barbarian race hasn’t been our king for a long time,” sneered the Barbarian giant. “We now follow a new ruler, the great Battle Barbarian race. The Blood Barbarian king already followed your Nine Star Master to his death, so it’s over for you. All that awaits you now is death.”

He pressed down with his saber, muscles bulging as he poured all his strength into the strike. Yet, despite his power, the blade couldn’t budge Long Chen.

For some reason, hearing that the Blood Barbarian king had perished in combat sent a sharp pang through Long Chen’s heart. In his mind, Wilde’s simple, honest face appeared, filling him with an overwhelming sense of loss.

“Die!” Long Chen shouted, and his killing intent erupted.

BOOM!

The giant saber shattered in his grip, releasing a powerful shockwave that blasted the Barbarian expert backward, blood spraying from his mouth.

BANG!

Long Chen kicked a shard of the broken saber, launching it like a lightning bolt. It struck the Barbarian’s head, blowing a large hole through his skull. After that, the giant fell like a toppled mountain, his eyes frozen in confusion and disbelief, unable to comprehend how he had died.

“Kill!”

Long Chen’s roar reverberated through the battlefield as his blazing astral energy flared, his eyes scarlet with rage. Already in a frenzy, he charged straight toward the swarm of enemies without waiting for them to reach him.
